Use a punch or drift to set the ball all the way down.

Using a small centre punch stake the case on both sides to keep the ball in place.

Install the band adjustment bolt.

Install the band apply shoes.

Install the new jamb nut and tighten the bolt and jamb nut per the shop manuals instructions.

Here is what's left to assemble on the valve body.

The new gasket goes on. Reminder there are two possible valve body gaskets, one for 1966 dual range only and the other models called select shift. This is still the 1966 dual range valve body so requires the hard to find 1966 gasket.

Attach the spacer plate and the two retainers.

On the valve body side flipped over there are 2 check balls and a spring. This one is the 2-3 shift check ball.

And the converter pressure relief spring and ball go here.

Assemble the two halves.

I went with a Wix filter as its screen appears to be a finer mesh than the OEM Ford one.

Torque the filter down.
